The format is beyond impressive to me, the calling it provkes- i know of your magical ways already but still what it is to witness and read. Will catch up soon on more pieces because what I just experienced needs to happen more in my life. Youre the best, queen status, and you know that already though 😉 😘

“This is what desire has always felt like. Not wanting someone else. Wanting all of yourself.”

That is the part people often misunderstand. We treat desire as appetite directed outward, when sometimes it is the body demanding the return of everything we exiled to remain acceptable: anger, sensuality, grief, ambition, voice, appetite, joy.

And the fire is not always destruction. Sometimes it is discernment. It burns away the life we performed from the life that was actually ours.

I know something about that exquisite terror of becoming too alive to fit back inside the life that was killing you. Once the body remembers its own scale, “small” stops feeling safe and starts feeling like suffocation.

Beautiful, fierce work.
